Sadly sometimes GMail messes up reply. All my replies went to individuals instead of the mailing list. %<{

I give the most important things I wrote.

Since version 237, journalctl has had a --grep option.

Message text is not indexed, so performance-wise this still requires
going through all messages (as limited by other options).

On Debian the version is 232, but backports has 237. Sadly this gives:
    Compiled without pattern matching support

That is because:
    regex in journalctl is an optional feature that is decided at compile time

Posted the problem in a Debian newsgroup. Fingers crossed that they are going to enable it.
